Embodiment Construction

[0026]Referring now to the drawings, the details of preferred embodiments of the present invention are graphically and schematically illustrated. Like elements in the drawings are represented by like numbers, and any similar elements are represented by like numbers with a different lower case letter suffix.

[0027]The present Personal Computer Internet Security System protects the files of a user's stand-alone or personal computer from being affected by any malicious code contained in a file downloaded from an external data source, such as the Internet, and from being accessed from the Internet (e.g., via a “trojan”). Although the present system 10 comprises a stand-alone computer device such as a PC as shown in FIG. 1, it can be adapted to a computer network, such as an Intranet as shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the Internet 14 is typically accessed by a computer 20 (or for an intranet 18, by an internet server 21, see FIG. 2) via an Internet node 16. Depending on the co...
